The TFA Matrix (Technology-Facilitated Abuse Matrix) is a structured knowledge base of tactics and techniques observed in technology-facilitated interpersonal harm. It was developed by Not A Standard as part of the SAFE (Security Abuse Framework for Evidence) methodology.
The TFA Matrix applies threat intelligence frameworks — originally designed for cybersecurity — to map patterns of technology-enabled abuse, coercive control, and harassment.

This resource is provided for educational and research purposes only. The TFA Matrix is not a diagnostic tool and should not be used to assess, diagnose, or make determinations about whether an individual is experiencing or perpetrating abuse.
If you or someone you know is experiencing harm, please contact appropriate support services in your jurisdiction. In Australia, contact 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732) or Lifeline (13 11 14).
The techniques described in this matrix represent documented patterns of behaviour. Their inclusion does not imply prevalence, and individual situations are complex. Professional guidance should always be sought when responding to concerns about interpersonal harm.
Practitioners, researchers, and technologists should exercise care and sensitivity when using this framework, particularly when working with individuals who may have experienced technology-facilitated abuse.
